Jozai Domain

The Jozai Domain was a feudal domain of the Tokugawa Shogunate that was ruled by the Hayashi clan.

History
The poor Jozai domain was the fief of the Hayashi clan. They were another great family that owed its position entirely to the Tokugawa Shogunate, and repaid this with unstinting loyalty. As might be expected, they were traditionalists at heart and true to the old ways of Japan. Lack of money, however, did not mean a lack of invention, and the Hayashi became specialists in guerrilla warfare. Their armies could replenish in enemy territories, and they possessed a strong guerrilla force.
